NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE TUESDAY, OCT. 11 Students who wish to vote in the presidential election this November only have until Tuesday to register to vote. Registration can be done at the Secretary of State office on 1245 N. Mission St. or the city clerk’s office at 320 W. Broadway St. There will also be a voter registration drive orchestrated by Vote Mob CMU from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday outside of the Bovee University Center. To vote, a person must be 18 years old, a citizen

of the United States and a resident of the Michigan city, township or village where they’re registering. Students can also register by mail on vote.org. For those who mail in voter registration forms, there is an “in-person federal requirement” which means students must be physically present to cast a vote for it to be counted. Students may not cast an absentee ballot if they mailed in their voter registration forms until they show some form of identification.

Mount Pleasant City Clerk Jeremy Howard warns students to take caution when filling out their registration forms. “When you register to vote, (where you register) will change your address on the license,” Howard said in a January interview. “If students do this, they have to register and un-register to get their address back to what it initially was, (which is) either their own home or mom and dad’s house.” - Jordyn Hermani, News Editor

FORMER FACULTY MEMBER ARRAIGNED ON FOUR COUNTS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE Former Central Michigan University faculty member Mark Ranzenberger was charged Friday in Isabella County Trial Court with four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor. Ranzenberger His arraignment comes after a plea hearing for separate charges on Sept. 27 in U.S. District Court when Ranzenberger admitted to sexually abusing a minor under the age of 12 several times between 1995 and 2002. He appeared Friday before Magistrate Judge Sandra Straus via teleconference from the Clare County Jail, where he is being held on a $100,000 bond. According to the Michigan penal code, first degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony that carries a sentence of up to life in prison. Ranzenberger pleaded guilty Sept. 27 to one count of possession of child pornography, following a separate investigation by CMU Police and the U.S. Secret Service. More than 1,000 images depicting child pornography were found

in his possession, along with a document describing how to groom a child from birth to age 11 to be receptive to sexual acts. During CMUPD’s investigation, Ranzenberger said the document was “purely fantasy,” and denied ever sexually abusing children. Straus read Ranzenberger the charges and asked if he would like to hire his own lawyer or a court-appointed counsel. When asked about his financial state, Ranzenberger said he had no income, and had lost much of his assets in a recent divorce. “I don’t believe I have anything left,” he said. The Michigan State Police confirmed on Sept. 27 they investigated Ranzenberger for sexual abuse on behalf of the Secret Service. Ranzenberger taught journalism and broadcast and cinematic arts classes at CMU since 1999. He will appear again in Isabella County Court on Oct. 20 for a probable cause hearing. - Johnathan Hogan, Staff Reporter

Miles for Medals 5K raises thousands for Special Olympics By Madison Hren Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The sun was just beginning to rise as 500 people huddled together for warmth Saturday outside of Finch Fieldhouse. It was only 8 a.m., but the street was full of stretching participants waiting for the Miles for Medals 5K Run and the one-milelong “Fun Run” to begin. There was a record-breaking number of participants, who raised more than $20,000 for Special Olympics Michigan. “To say we’re going to do this and then actually commit is exciting for me. It’s for a good cause,” said Milford sophomore Chelsea Thibodeau. Runners of all ages participated, from those pushing strollers to grandparents run-

ning with their grandchildren. “I think the most rewarding thing is seeing everyone come back home to CMU, and more

importantly, seeing people come out to support our athletes,” said Kelly Berryhill, an event coordinator of the run.

Davison freshman Nicholas Sleeman was the first person to finish the race with a time of 16:00. Shortly after, a constant

stream of runners began to cross the finish line. Along the street, people were cheering and shouting support to their

friends and family members. All proceeds from the event will directly support more than 23,000 special needs athletes around the state through Special Olympics Michigan. SOMI provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports from all children and adults with disabilities. The Miles for Medals run has been a CMU Homecoming tradition for more than 25 years. At the end of the race, every runner received a finishers medal, and prizes were awarded to the top finishers. Participants enjoyed refreshments and snacks on the steps of Finch Fieldhouse while discussing the race and their times. “This was my best ever road race,” Mason junior Paul Pioszak said. “It’s a promising start to the season.”

DEMANDING EQUAL ACCESS

EDITORIAL

Americans with Disabilities Act compliance should be a priority across campus The most recent US Census Bureau statistics report there are 1.3 million people living in Michigan with a registered physical or mental disability. In Isabella County, there are nearly 8,000 people.

Due to privacy laws, the number of students, faculty or staff with disabilities at Central Michigan University is much harder to

quantify. We do know that the population is large enough to warrant two separate line items in CMU’s budget. One of these accounts fund upgrades or repair areas on campus that are not up to standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. This

act protects people with disabilities against discrimination by making all buildings reasonably accessible. The university is upgrading Warriner Hall’s bathrooms to make them compliant with the most recent 1990 ADA guidelines. Warriner Hall was built in 1926. It’s age allows CMU officials to upgrade it to ADA standards when the money becomes available, even though the compliance guidelines were set 26 years ago. The $788,000 renovations include adding new fixtures, flooring and tile to be more accessible. We are happy to see the university address this crucial ADA accessibility oversight. Facilities Management put a sizable chunk of its deferred maintenance dollars to the Warriner project, one that actively benefits students, staff and visitors to campus. CMU should also take stock of other areas on campus that are out of ADA compliance. We encourage university administration to greenlight renovations of older buildings on campus to comply with ADA standards. We ask that

all available capital project and deferred maintenance dollars be diverted to ADA compliance. We understand that some buildings on CMU’s campus are older than the grandparents of our youngest students attending classes. Buildings like Powers and Warriner have been grandfathered into the ADA guidelines. They are expensive to renovate and require mandatory upgrades only if the entire building is being renovated as a whole. By law, CMU can take its time to gather funding to tackle projects like Warriner Hall. We believe that it is wrong to build any new projects without making our campus completely accessible to all people. The issue of money seems to be the biggest hurdle. Last year, CMU allocated $16,000 to its ADA maintenance fund. That means that CMU’s Facilities Management department had less than $20,000 to use on ADA compliance issues before dipping into its deferred maintenance budget. Becky Rees and Christine Kinne are American Sign Language (ASL) professors work-

ing in the Health Professions building. In 2012, the pair, who have varying degrees of hearing loss, lobbied the university for accommodation when they noticed their offices were not equipped with inaudible flashing fire alarms. Without flashing alarms, the professors would have no idea that Health Professions was being evacuated for a fire. The alarms were not immediately installed. Instead, the professors spent the next three years grappling with the university. Facilities Maintenance officials said that budget constraints were a key factor. CMU officials must make ADA standards and the inclusion of people with disabilities a stated priority. It will help them avoid protracted issues with compliance and safety. They must treat it with the same nuance and careful consideration when dealing with issues of racial diversity on campus. Its inclusion promise must embrace every member of the campus community, no matter what they look like, or how they navigate our sprawling campus.

My sister is inspiring, but she’s not your ‘inspiration porn’ Last month, my sister, Rachael Morrison, competed in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. She won a gold medal and set a world record for her class in discus. My pride in her accomplishment is immeasurable. For the last six years, my family and I have been present throughout her adversity, pain and moments of triumph like this world record. There have been hospital bills and sleepless nights; bouts of depression and matching tattoos. What seemed like trivial sporting competitions paved the way for her to compete across the country. Eventually, her closet was full of clothing with

Nate Morrison Design Editor

“Team USA” emblazoned across the chest. I would be lying if I said my sister didn’t inspire me. What I have an issue with is when people like my sister are turned into what is negatively referred to as “inspiration porn.” The term was coined in 2012 by the late Stella Young, an Australian comedian and disability activist. Young’s inspiration porn concept refers to images

of people with a disability that have some message of pre-packaged hope or quote placed on top. Words like, “the only disability in life is a bad attitude.” In 2014, Young gave a TED Talk explaining how these images are inspiration porn. “They objectify one group of people for the benefit of another group of people,” Young said. “So, in this case, we’re objectifying disabled people for the benefit of non-disabled people. The purpose of these images is to inspire you, to motivate you, so that we can look at them and think, ‘Well, however bad my life is, it could be

worse. I could be that person.’” This mentality toward people disabilities often manifests itself within the context of athletics and the Paralympic games, in particular. It’s an event that is almost always overshadowed by the Olympic Games, even though it is held in the same place and has a similar display. Paralympic games are the highest echelon of competition for people with physical disabilities. At these events, records set by the best ablebodied athletes are smashed by their Paralympic counterparts. The Games often get mistaken for the Special Olympics, despite being completely sepa-

rate entities. Special Olympic athletes have to combat an entirely different type of stigma, and have a completely different set of diagnoses. The Paralympics should be viewed as the legitimate equivalent to the Olympics. And Paralympic athletes should give you that same type of legitimate inspiration. We just can’t let society warp Paralympic athletes feats of strength and determination into inspiration porn. Young sums this idea up best. “I really want to live in a world where disability is not the exception, but the norm,” Young said. “Where we don’t have such low expectations of disabled

people that we are congratulated for getting out of bed and remembering our own names in the morning.” A person in a wheelchair is not a superhero. Their lives are not to remind you about the value of perseverance, nor how life “could be worse.” What my sister has done and overcome is amazing, but It would be a terrible disservice to deny the hours of training, work and craft that has gone into her success. Her genuine achievement transcends her use of a wheelchair. She’s an exceptional person, and an athlete, but not because she lives with a disability.

Dangerous distortions from no sleep, too much caffeine Give me caffeine or give me death. That’s been my personal mantra ever since I could get my hands on coffee, energy drinks and Diet Coke. I didn’t need it, but when my blood was filled with Rockstar or espresso, I was vibrant and talkative and happy. You know the feeling — when you have energy to get everything done and still have time for fun. When you’re high on life, and caffeine, why would you ever want to sleep? This is the flawed logic of caffeine junkies. It is a quick fix, for a short time, but the effects of prolonged sleep

deprivation combined with caffeine overuse are more than a little concerning. If you look up sleep deprivation symptoms on Google, you’ll find symptoms that include hallucinations or delirium. Imagine combining a bad LSD trip with a hangover. That’s what you get when you pull multiple all-nighters and forgo sleep.

Couple that with the negative side effects of caffeine – a substance classified as a psychoactive drug – and you quickly find out how overconsumption becomes dangerous. In 2014, ​CBS News reported the death of an 18-year-old athlete in Lagrange, Ohio. The teen was home for lunch and ingested a fatal amount of caffeine powder. Caffeine powders are a favorite ingredient for people who want to make their own energy drinks. Some of those people, especially athletes, use caffeine powders as a pre-workout mix. This powder, which is not regu-

lated and can be easily purchased in stores and online, carries a set of medical red flags. It is potent and easy to overdose on because the dosage is undefined and left up to the consumer. Law enforcement and emergency crews found the Ohio teen collapsed on the floor. His official cause of death was a combination of seizures and cardiac arrhythmia due to the incredible amount of caffeine pumping through his veins. At the very least, overdosing on caffeine can cause nausea, vomiting and an irregular heartbeat. It can aggravate any previous

health conditions such as anxiety and diabetes. At the very worst, it could end your life. If those are actual things that could happen, why do we continue to tempt fate with caffeine? We live in a society that rewards overexertion, and somewhere along the line, sleep became a luxury instead of a necessity for most college students. We forget that it is still crucial to sleep more than a few hours at a time just to function normally. Living in purposeful ignorance about the dangers of caffeine is reckless, and continuing use after

suffering any of these symptoms is the definition of addiction. Caffeine abusers are legal drug addicts, desperate for our next fix, and it’s only a matter of time before we hit rock bottom. We must remember that we’re humans, not machines. We don’t need caffeine fuel – we need a good night of sleep and maybe the occasional nap. We have to remember we’re not invincible. After all, living from one alcohol-drenched weekend to another isn’t the only bad college habit that can kill you. That espresso in your hand could do it, too.

TRUMP CLINTON

of your vote Millennials rival Baby Boomers as largest voting bloc — but will they vote in this polarized presidential race?

By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

Illustration by Bryce Tufts | Illustrator

Next month, Americans will face the reality of electing one of two of the most divisive candidates for president in the history of the nation. Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have about a month left to convince voters they are the best choice for president. Trump’s platform is based on immigration reform, repealing Obamacare and “renegotiating” international trade deals. Last week, he also garnered media attention for his derogatory comments toward women more than a decade ago. Clinton’s platform places emphasis on closing the wage gap between men and women and also is in favor of supporting free college tuition. Most of these policies she has changed opinions on over the course of her political career. She has also been the focus of numerous scandals pertaining to her deleted emails and the Democratic National Convention hack. Students have the ability to vote for one of these two candidates, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein or to simply abstain from voting. But by Oct. 11, that opportunity might be removed from some people if they don’t meet the deadline to register to vote. Students can register at the Secretary of State office on 1245 N Mission St. or the city clerk at 320 W Broadway St. during their hours of operation. Voting requirements are that a person must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years

old and be a resident of the area they are registering in. It is also possible to register by mail by downloading forms from vote.gov. Regardless of whether you plan on voting, college-age voters are poised to have a significant say on Election Day.

When Sen. Bernie Sanders entered into the presidential race, billing himself as a voice for the disenfranchised, many believed they had found a candidate who represented them. When Sanders lost the Democratic nomination, an overwhelming amount of Millennials began criticizing the country’s two-party system. In the wake of Clinton’s nomination, some Millennials began championing for voting third party or not voting at all according to an article from the New York Times. Dillon said those two options are not realistic and voting for unliked candidates is “just politics.” “The only way you’re going to get someone who (shares your same ideals) and who looks like you, is if you run for president yourself,” he said. Dillon credits increased use of social media and 24-hour news coverage of the elections as a major reason why political polarization is such an issue in this election. Back when he first voted, Dillon said there were only “three channels” on television. From what was broadcast, it was up to voters to inter-

pret that information. Now, anything goes, he said, no matter how absurd. “You used to have some (reporter) telling you the way it was and that’s the way it’s going to be,” Dillon said. “Now, if (I) get on my phone, I can find 150 articles to justify anything I’ve said (about politics), no matter how right or wrong (the statement) is. We tend to self-select more on what we’re exposed to.” Falsehoods fed to voters by candidates has become such an issue, media outlets such as National Public Radio and the New York Times have begun “truth checking” statements. Politifact, a website launched in 2007, is dedicated to double checking not just presidential candidates’ statements, but all politicians. Giving ratings on their “Truth-o-Meter” from “True” to “Pants on Fire!,” the website has been an integral part of double checking assertions made during this presidential election. Stepp said while lying has always had its place in politics, in this “era of partisanship and hyper-polarization that we’re in,” the dishonesty in this campaign “takes on a whole new light.” “We’ve always seen a little bit of (lying) during speeches and debates, so this election isn’t that unusual in that regards,” she said. “People with social media, especially with younger people who get all their news through social media, candidates have seen they can just kind of just throw

Professor receives national child language certification By Ben Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Ben Agosta | Staff Reporter Katie Squires, an assistant professor in Central Michigan University’s Speech-Language Pathology program, became one of 75 specialists in the nation to receive certification in child language. Squires sits at her desk on Sept. 29 at the Health Professions Building, Room 1164.

Katie Squires, an assistant professor in Central Michigan University’s Speech-Language Pathology program, became one of 75 specialists in the nation and the only specialist working in Michigan to receive certification in child language. Squires received the certification last month from the American Board of Child Language and Language Disorders, a subset of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association. The certified specialist teaches typical language development and language disorders courses in her fourth year working at Central Michigan University. Moreover, she is a passionate advocate and educator for dyslexia, serving on the Michigan board for the International Dyslexia Association. Central Michigan Life talked to Squires about her certification, her reason for becoming a speech pathologist and the difference between teaching kindergarteners and college students. CM LIFE: What does the certification mean? SQUIRES: It means that I’ve gone through this rigorous process and that if you have a child that needs language (therapy), you can be assured that I know what I’m doing and that you’re going to get the best care possible. Why did you choose to pursue speech pathology? I started as an elementary teacher, and I taught elementary school for 12 years. I taught everything from preschool, kindergarten, third grade and then sixth, seventh and eighth grade language arts. Most of my time was spent (teaching) kindergarten. I absolutely loved it. I won awards for kindergarten teaching, and it was my jam, but I have a child who has a speech disorder. In the process of getting him help I realized it really takes a special person to be able to work with this population, and quite frankly where we were living (in Northwest Indiana), there weren’t a lot of people who could help him. I went back to school. I had started getting a masters in reading because it was really an interest of mine, but because of my son’s diagnosis of apraxia of speech, I changed my masters to speech pathology. Ironically, I ended up specializing in dyslexia in my doctoral program after discovering my son had comorbid conditions of apraxia and dyslexia. My Ph.D. in Disabilities Disciplines, specializing in literacy, combines my backgrounds nicely in education and speech-language pathology.

Tell me a little about the certification process. How did you apply? What were the requirements? I applied over a year ago, and the requirements — besides the application fee — is putting together a portfolio of experiences and examples of expertise in the area. You need to have over 100 continuing education hours at the intermediate or advanced levels in child language. You have to have at least five years’ experience working with kids that have language or literacy needs. I had to submit journal articles I’ve written, presentations I’ve given and then it’s all reviewed by a board. They vote on it, they tell you whether you have this special certification. It’s good for five years and during that time I have to continue taking courses in that area, attending seminars and working with kids, just to keep it current. What’s the difference in going from teaching kindergarteners to college students? When kindergarteners come to school, you’re getting them when they’re completely wet behind the ears, and they don’t know what’s going on. Sometimes I have freshmen taking my 300-level class, and I have to remind myself they’re still wet behind the ears. Sometimes I assume they know how to respond when I say, “Well, there’s going to be a discussion board on Blackboard.” But some of them have no idea how to get to the discussion board, and I have to remind myself “oh, it’s kind of like in kindergarten.” I have to teach them all of those prerequisite things. I can’t just assume, because it’s a 300-level class, everybody in there is a junior. A lot of them come in as freshmen, especially with dual enrollment. They have taken so many classes as a high school student that when they come (to the university), they’re ready for those 300-level classes, but it’s their first time here on campus. Are you still learning, even though you’re a professor? Yes. (I am a) lifetime learner, and I think that’s what’s really cool (because) you never get stagnant. You’re always learning new things, finding different applications, keeping up on the latest research, and this certification really forces you to do that. I think sometimes professors think “I’m done” and then they’re teaching for 20 years, but (some of them) haven’t kept up on the research during that time and they haven’t kept up on the latest trends.

Activist groups work to combat barriers to student voting By Ben Solis Opinion Editor opinion@cm-life.com

For Norma Bailey, voting is the great equalizer. She keeps that affirmation in mind every time she oversees a student-voter registration drive, or speaks to a class about voting rights. The retired Central Michigan University professor of middle education now works as a political organizer in Mount Pleasant. She’s also a co-founder of Register Educate Vote (R.E.V.) CMU, a group of faculty, students and city leaders dedicated to getting students to the polls in each election. Their mission in 2016 was to get 100 percent of CMU’s students registered before the Oct. 11 deadline. It was a task made more difficult by election laws that Bailey calls “modern day suppression tactics.” “We’re very interested in teaching people about voting history because over the course of our history, we’ve expanded who has the right to vote,” Bailey said. “It’s only been within the last 15 to 20 years that we’ve seen a reverse of that. “Now we’re seeing more voter suppression, and the primary source of suppression occurs with young people.” Bailey knows those tactics well. Like how under state law, a registered first-time voter must cast a ballot in person before they can vote absentee. Voting absentee means a person can vote by mail, with some restrictions. If they haven’t voted in person at least once, a student must go home to vote near the address listed on a driver’s license or state ID. Bailey said confusing election rules are just one type of voter suppression tactics preventing students from turning out on Election Day. The laws culminate a set of barriers that she and others believe erode turnout and faith in the electoral process. Firing up the youth vote requires activists to convince young people of their own power. Through registration drives, CMU courses and outreach, Bailey and a band of politically motivated students are working to educate – and deprogram – CMU undergrads as the clock winds down to Nov. 8.

DEFINING THE ROADBLOCKS During the spring 2016 semester, R.E.V. CMU and the Student Government Association brought mobile Secretary of State units to campus. One registration drive in August registered more than 250 students — a sort of milestone by the state’s standard. Across campus, Rockford senior Evan Wittenbach was doing the same with a different group. Wittenbach is an activist and co-founder of CMU Students for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. His work registering students gave him deeper insight into barriers to student voting. Barriers like

the registration rules, Election Day etiquette, poorly marked polling locations and stymied calls for additional precincts. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there about how voting works,” Wittenbach said. “Then there’s the fact that students still have to work or attend class on Election Day because it’s not a federal holiday. I have days where I go from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. “On a day like that, I want to have time to go out and vote.” A day off on Nov. 8 might increase youth turnout, but so would lifting restrictions, Wittenbach said. Lawmakers would have to amend or repeal decades of election laws, and Wittenbach isn’t holding out hope on that, either. “Simple processes aren’t implemented in Michigan because Republicans and establishment Democrats don’t want students voting because they can sway elections, and that’s typically bad for them,” he said.

LOSS OF FAITH IN PROCESS & ACCESS Changing an inconvenient process is one of the key to turning out students who’ve become lukewarm to the process. It’s why many CMU student activists over the years have lobbied for a polling location on-campus. Each year, the city considers the idea, but eventually disregards it. That doesn’t mean city staffers haven’t tried to make it work. Mount Pleasant City Clerk Jeremy Howard said the city routinely runs feasibility studies for at least one polling location on campus. The numbers don’t add up. Only a quarter of 18 to 21-year-old students are registered to vote in Mount Pleasant’s 6th and 7th precincts. That’s about 700 registered young people out of 3,000 total registered voters, Howard said. At least 25 percent of CMU’s student population live on campus, less than 6,000 students in total. Howard said there’s no way to know how many of those students are part of that 700 registered pool. Both Michigan State University and Western Michigan University have on-campus locations. When Howard asked, Kalamazoo and Lansing city clerks did not recommend it as a viable solution. The study shows it is difficult to justify an oncampus location. It also details students’ sour views on voting. Many have shunned the process entirely. The way politicians treat young people hasn’t helped. Bailey said politicians dismiss students because they know students won’t vote. It’s a cycle of misunderstanding that hurts young people and lawmakers alike. Wittenbach tends to agree. “If a student talks about the integrity of the process, they say it doesn’t matter who I vote for,” Wittenbach said. “They think the election is going to be rigged anyway, or it doesn’t matter who gets in because nothing will change for them on the ground.”

U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow visited campus last month to speak and campaign for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. While at CMU, she cited the registration laws as a major barrier to student voting. Stabenow said legislators are aware of the rules, and are working to change them.

SMASHING THROUGH THE BARRIERS Registration drives and lobbying are just pieces of the puzzle. Education will play a major role in breaking down the roadblocks to student voting. In addition to R.E.V., Bailey helped create a onecredit honors course at CMU called Civic Engagement in the 2016 Election. The course began in Fall 2016. Phame Camarena, director of Honors and National Scholarships Programs, advises the course. Bailey said the class has only five students, but they’re already making a difference in the community by helping out with registration drives and working on organizing campaigns within the community. They’re learning about the barriers, the history of voting in America, and most importantly, how to deprogram themselves from voter apathy.

“Young people have been taught that their voice doesn’t count,” Bailey said. “That’s purposeful. We have to make sure they unlearn that.” R.E.V. and Camarena’s students are planning to march with CMU undergrads to polling locations across Mount Pleasant, ensuring students end up at the right locations. Howard said the Isabella County I-Ride transportation network plans to add routes to polls specifically for voters. Wittenbach is optimistic these measures will have an impact on turnout, rules and tactics notwithstanding. “Taking advantage of that is a good start,” he said. “And who knows. The state could change its laws. City ordinances and charters could change to make campus its own district. No matter what, find time to go out and vote.” Until lawmakers decide to combat barriers to voting with a forceful hand, it’s up to people like Bailey, Wittenbach and students to do everything they can to make sure young people get to the polls. “In an election like this, it’s especially important to not miss any opportunity to get students involved,” Wittenbach said.

Sanders draws millenials to Lansing for Clinton campaign By Greg Horner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

United States Sen. Bernie Sanders told an enthusiastic crowd at Michigan State University Hillary Clinton will work to make education more affordable, fight climate change and improve the “real issues affecting our country.” Sanders spoke at a campaign rally in support of Democratic nominee Clinton at Arena Field on MSU’s campus. This is the first time Sanders has visited Michigan since running in the Democratic primary against Clinton. “(This campaign) is not a personality contest. We are voting for President of the United States — the most powerful elected position in the world,” Sanders said. “It is incumbent upon us to take a hard look at the issues, the issues that impact our lives.” Speaking to a crowd of mostly students under a gray sky that threatened rain, Sanders said Clinton will work to make Americans the best educated workforce in the world, and support free college education for everyone. “It is absolutely absurd that hundreds of thousands of bright young people, who have the qualifications and the desire, cannot go to college for one reason — their families lack the money,” Sanders said. “She and I also believe that it is crazy

that millions of people have left college deeply in debt and they are paying off that debt for decades.” MSU sophomore Jack Kellett supported Sanders in his primary campaign against Clinton and now supports the former secretary of state and first lady. His biggest concerns for the future are race relations and income inequality. He said Sanders brings a needed authenticity to Clinton’s campaign. “I think he’s honest, authentic and real,” Kellett said. “The biggest perceptions about Hillary are that she’s not honest. I think Bernie helps her with that.” Coltrane Lewis, an MSU sophomore from Jackson, said he came out to hear what Sanders had to say about the election. He is not an enthusiastic supporter of Clinton. “I don’t like either candidate now,” Lewis said. “But I think Bernie might be able to convince me to vote for her.” To pay for Clinton’s reforms, Sanders said the country has to start making billionaires pay their fair share of taxes. He also expressed concern about the impact money has on democracy. “Democracy is about ‘one person, one vote.’ Democracy is not about billionaires buying elections,” Sanders said. “That is not democracy, it is an oligarchy.” Clinton, if elected, will support a constitutional amendment that

why she and I believe that we’ve got to raise the minimum wage in this country from minimum wage to a living wage.” MSU freshman Hanna Foreman attended the rally to see Sanders and get excited for the election. She said while she supported Sanders, she doesn’t know how feasible his plans are. Clinton’s plans are more realistic — but Foreman has reservations about the Democratic candidate. “Convincing me to vote for her has been a challenge. I still don’t completely trust her based on what she’s done as secretary of state, a senator or first lady,” Foreman said. “We do need a candidate that can perform foreign policy, education and economic reform.” Sanders painted a stark contrast between Clinton and Trump to the crowd. “The scientific community is nearly unanimous that

climate change is real,” Sanders said. “Donald Trump believes climate change is a hoax. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, we have a moral responsibility to ensure that the planet we leave to them is healthy and inhabitable.” Despite their different opinions on economic reform, civil rights and more, Sanders said he is most concerned about the way Trump has run his campaign. “What I am very fearful about is that for the first time in the modern history of this country, we have a candidate that is running for president on a policy of bigotry,” Sanders said. He added a president has to treat people with respect and pointed out Trump’s verbal attack on Latino and Muslim-Americans. “We should be proud as a nation of our diversity,” he said. “That’s how we are strong.”

America has succeeded in fighting sexism, homophobia and racism, added Sanders. “But today we have one huge struggle remaining — the economic struggle,” Sanders said. “We should not be living in a nation that has more wealth and more income inequality than any other nation on earth.” Sanders finished the rally by asking the crowd to work together and stay involved beyond Nov. 8. “Our job in the next five weeks is to elect Hillary Clinton as our President,” Sanders said. “But our struggle doesn’t stop on election day. Our job isn’t just to elect Hillary Clinton — it’s to transform America.” East Lansing was just one campaign stop Sanders made Oct. 6 in Michigan. He also visited Dearborn, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids.

No. 1 NFL Draft pick Fisher returns as Homecoming Grand Marshal By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Among the former Chippewa football players who returned to Mount Pleasant for Homecoming on Saturday was Central Michigan’s only No. 1 NFL draft pick, Eric Fisher. Serving as CMU’s 2016 Homecoming Grand Marshal, Fisher, who was drafted No. 1 overall by the Chiefs in 2013, caught up with Central Michigan Life to discuss his football journey. What does it feel like to be back at CMU? FISHER: It’s a great feeling. This is my first time back for a football game.

Coach (Bonamego) called me and told me they were thinking about it and I said I would love the honor. It’s a huge honor and privilege to be representing the Chippewas on Homecoming. How do you like Coach Bonamego? I’m really excited for everything he’s doing here with the program and everything he’s got lined up for the future. He’s got the right attitude, the right mentality. All of us in the NFL, we’re liking what we’re seeing. What are some of the differences you’ve noticed with the football program from when you played here to now? Every coach has his own style. I played for Butch Jones and Dan Enos and now it’s coach Bono’s turn. I think what he’s doing is right. What’s your fondest memory of your time at CMU? There’s so many. Being a Chippewa, what else could you ask for? I think going back to my freshman year and my first start against Ball State. That was a pretty big turning point in my career and in college.

Promise Fulfilled Chapman cousins turn high school dream into Division I reality

By Greg Wickliffe Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Whenever Mark Chapman sees his older cousin Winslow Chapman on the field playing for the same Division I football team, he has to take a step back and smile. Mark and Winslow are starters on Central Michigan’s football team. The two grew up with the same dream of playing

Division I football together. “It’s definitely a lot of fun,” Mark said. “It was something we strived for when we were younger and we always competed and pushed each other. The fact that it’s come to life now, it’s a really big blessing.” Before Mark and Winslow became Chippewas, Mark’s oldest brother, Jarret, played for CMU as a defensive back from 2011 to 2014. Jarret helped Winslow ease

into the transition of playing Division I football in 2012 when Winslow was a freshman. Winslow became a guide for Mark when he came to Mount Pleasant in 2013. It’s rare for three family members to end up playing for the same university and at the Division I level, but for the Chapman’s, that was always the plan. Growing up, they enjoyed playing Xbox together and other

sports besides football. It wasn’t until they reached Port Huron High School where the three made a promise to make it to the collegiate level. “We all thought it would be awesome to play Division I football together,” Winslow said. “We didn’t know it could happen at that time. We worked hard for it and to achieve it was awesome.” To reach their goal, they competed with each other in the weight room, on the field during practices and even at the dinner table as they tried to prepare for the next level. Now, Jarret is coming off a stint playing in the Canadian Football League during 2015. Mark is a starting receiver and Winslow is a starting safety for CMU this season.

and support each other. With Winslow and Mark playing opposite sides of the ball, the two have been able to bounce questions off of each other to improve their games. “I get so excited for him just like we did in high scool,” Winslow said. “Even when he catches passes on our defense (in practice) it’s bittersweet. I’m happy for him because he’s doing well, but then I’m like, ‘Dang, he just caught that on our defense.’ But no matter what he’s doing, I’m excited for him and I want to see him do great things.” Unlike Mark, who has started the past two seasons and has hauled in 64 passes for 887 yards and four touchdowns in his career — Winslow had to wait his turn to get on the field.

In his first season starting for CMU, he has recorded 21 tackles, one interception and a blocked punt for a safety. “I’m rooting for him when he makes a big play,” Mark said. “I get more excited than when I make a big play.” To see his cousin finally have an opportunity to make an impact is something Mark doesn’t take for granted. “He faced a lot of adversity his whole career, but he’s a good teammate,” he said. “The fact he finally got a shot, and he’s making plays and doing things we all knew he could do, it’s a lot of fun and I’m real happy for him.” CMU wide receivers coach Mose Rison recruited both

It’s been a true pleasure to have an experience with them.” After Mark and Winslow graduate, the Chapman era will come to an end at CMU, but that doesn’t mean their family name will be forgotten. “I have to take a step back and realize it doesn’t happen a lot,” Mark said. “When we talk about the good times we’ve had these past four years, we’ve had a lot of fun. I want my teammates to remember us as hard workers and people who genuinely cared about this program and put everything into it.”

Football wins on Homecoming despite offensive line woes By Austin Denean and Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter and Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

With 1:37 left to play in the game Saturday, Ball State had a chance to deliver Central Michigan football its third straight loss. Then, Amari Coleman sealed the win for the Chippewas. With the Cardinal’s down 24-21 and driving inside CMU’s redzone, BSU’s quarterback Riley Neal dropped back and threw a jump ball into the end zone. Coleman reached up and intercepted the pass to secure CMU’s 24-21 victory on Homecoming. “I just tried to highpoint it and catch the ball,” Coleman said. “The wind was blowing the other way, so the wind kind of took it.” The win snapped a two-game losing streak and put the Chippewas’ record at 4-2 overall and 1-1 in the Mid-American Conference. After losing back-to-back games, including a ​ 49-10 loss to rival Western Michigan last weekend, the Chippewas were eager to prove they were still a conference contender. “We had that bad taste in our mouth and we wanted to get rid of it,” said senior quarterback Cooper Rush. “We couldn’t wait for today. It felt good to come out on the right end.” Despite giving up five sacks, the Chippewas were able to rack up 422 yards of total offense. Rush completed 21 of his 32 passes for 269 yards and one touchdown. He moved into seventh place all-time in career passing yards in MAC history. Junior running back Devon Spalding ended the game with 157 rushing yards and one touchdown on 23 carries, including a 52-yard rush which allowed CMU to run out the clock after Coleman’s interception. “We’re still in the thick of (the conference race),” said head coach John Bonamego. “It’s early. We just have to keep our focus on the next opponent.”

FRONT-LINE STRUGGLES For the second consecutive game, Cooper Rush spent a lot of time on the ground beneath an opposing defender Saturday. The senior quarterback has been sacked 13 times in the last two games and 23 times this season — the second most of any Mid-American Conference quarterback. “I’m not happy with Cooper Rush getting hit as many times as he did,” head coach John Bonamego said. “We have some work to do.” The Chippewas entered the season having to replace two starters in former center Nick Beamish and tackle Ramadan Ahmeti on an offensive line that finished seventh in the MAC last season. Through the first five games of 2016, the offensive line is on pace to surpass last season’s sack total in its next two games. The line is surrendering 4.6 sacks per game, which would tally at least 50 sacks allowed at the end of the season at this current pace — nearly double last season’s total. CMU also struggled to block on running plays last season, finishing last in the MAC in rushing offense. After averaging 3.1 yards per carry in 2015, the Chippewas have not faired much better this season, gaining 3.9 yards per carry thus far. In its game against Ball State on Saturday, more than 100 of the team’s 153 total rushing yards came on two long runs by junior running back Devon Spalding. Outside of Spalding’s 63-yard run in the second quarter and 52-yarder in the fourth, CMU gained 38 yards on 35 attempts, averaging just 1.1 yards per carry. Following the win against Ball State, Spalding said a running back can’t expect a big play to happen every time they touch the ball. Rush put some of the blame for the five sacks on himself. If the Chippewas want to remain MAC contenders, they need to be able to rush for more than one yard per play. No matter how good Rush can manage CMU’s passing offense, winning without a respect-

able rushing threat is tough to do at any level. CMU can’t set up a play-action pass to keep defenses honest and get receivers open downfield if it can’t establish a running threat.

WHAT’S NEXT The Chippewas’ offensive line will have an opportunity to settle in next Saturday as the team travels to

DeKalb, Illinois to play Northern Illinois. The Huskies are ranked 11th in the MAC in rushing defense, allowing 227.3 yards per game. They are ninth in the conference in sacks with nine. After Saturday’s win, CMU is third in the MAC West Division standings behind Western Michigan (6-0, 2-0 MAC) and Toledo (4-1, 1-0 MAC).

2006 MAC champions recognized during Homecoming game By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

As part of Homecoming weekend, Central Michigan football fans welcomed back the 2006 Mid-American Conference Championship team to Kelly/ Shorts Stadium on Saturday to recognize the members’ decadeold accomplishment. Under head coach Brian Kelly, the 2006 Chippewas (10-4) earned the program’s first conference championship since 1994. CMU took home two more MAC titles in 2007 and 2009 under head coach Butch Jones. A total of 16 former players were introduced in front of 20,044 fans at Kelly/Shorts Stadium before halftime of CMU’s game against Ball State — a 24-21 Chippewa victory.

“It’s awesome being able to see all the fans and students,” said former cornerback Vince Agnew. “It’s nice enjoying the other side of the game we didn’t get to enjoy as players.” Serving as the Chippewas’ honorary captain during the coin flip, former CMU linebacker and Super Bowl champion Frank Zombo also returned to Mount Pleasant on Saturday. A freshman in 2006, Zombo said that season was the start of the program’s return to prominence. “There was a period where (Central Michigan) wasn’t doing so well and that was kind of the start of our comeback,” he said. “It was kind of a dynasty we had in that four-year period.” Zombo won the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 2010. He has played for the Kansas City Chiefs since

Rich Drummond | Assistant Photo Editor Members of the 2006 CMU football team gather on the field after the first quarter during the game against Ball State on Saturday, Oct. 8 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

2013. His 25.5 career sacks is the second most in CMU history. Zombo said head coach John Bonamego invited him to be CMU’s honorary captain Saturday. CMU began the 2006 season

with a tough non-conference schedule. After losses to Boston College, Michigan and Kentucky, the Chippewas were just 1-3 after week four. The team responded by finishing conference play with a 7-1

record, including wins against Western Michigan and Toledo. Agnew and former wide receiver Matt Torres said the game against rival Western Michigan, a 31-7 victory at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, was their most memorable. “That’s one you always talk about years later,” Torres said. “Just how cold it was and how much excitement there was that day. The student section and the atmosphere that day is one you’ll always remember.” The Chippewas finished the season with a 31-10 thrashing of Ohio in the MAC Championship and went on to defeat Middle Tennessee State, 31-14, in the

Motor City Bowl at Ford Field. It was the first time in program history the team won the league title and a Division 1-A bowl game in the same season. Eleven Chippewas earned All-MAC honors after the season, including quarterback Dan LeFevour, who won Freshman of the Year and went on to break several program records during his career. LeFevour was not at the game Saturday. “No matter when you played here, you have a connection to every other guy who played here,” Bonamego said. “Our football alumni know they’re allowed here anytime. This is their building.”
